“Drowning Shadows” was written before many of the hits from In The Lonely Hour, including “Stay With Me” and “I’m Not The Only One”, but wasn’t included on the album because Smith felt the production never fit the song well. One road would lead to gay clubs that I used to go out to and then the other road would go home and I was in such a lonely, sad place when I was writing this album that sometimes I would literally have to choose, ’Do I go home to nothing? Or stay out for more?’ And that was a genuine choice for me some nights.” The track describes Smith’s feelings of loneliness while living in London – as they described in an interview with Zane Lowe, it was written with a literal crossroads in mind: Called “the saddest song I have ever written,” “Drowning Shadows” is the title track from the Drowning Shadows Edition re-release of Sam Smith’s 2014 debut album, In The Lonely Hour.
